Filling the Shelf – 91
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday or the more recent Stacking the Shelves, but with a title that suits my blog! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit the two hosts!
Happy Monday readers!
Wow, it’s been a while! And I’ve missed you guys! It’s only been a couple of weeks really, but to me it feels like ages. Maybe because I spent most of this time on the couch, sick with the stomach flu. I am SO glad I am almost back to health now! I’m planning on slowly getting back into the blogging world this week. Let me know what you’ve been up to recently so that I can stop by your place, too!
Even though I was sick, I received some new books in the last couple weeks (they always make things better!) and here are the new additions to my shelves :
The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan (Paris, 19th century, Degas : from the description, I don’t think a book could be more for me! Heard a lot of great things about this one already.)
Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan (This one is a memoir and it sounds absolutely fascinating. Click on the title to learn more; if it’s not already on your wishlist, I wouldn’t be surprised if you added it soon!)
The Lives we Lost by Megan Crewe (I read The Way we Fall last year and really enjoyed it; I am excited to know what’s coming next (and the cover is pretty!))
Sever by Lauren DeStefano (The conclusion to the Chemical Garden trilogy!)
What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these books?
The Painted Girls looks great! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
I love this cover for The Painted Girls!
Nice! I can’t wait for your reviews.
I’m reading Brain on Fire right now – it’s fascinating! Enjoy your new books!
Ooooh! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! I have a few books to get through before I can start this one but I’m dying to read it.
The Painted Girls sounds really good.

I LOVED The Painted Girls, and listened to it on audio. I also have Brain on Fire, and can’t wait to have some time with it. It will be interesting to see what you think of the third book in the Fever series. I read the first, and have the second that I need to get to soon.
I’ve heard such good things about Brain on Fire, and it sounds absolutely fascinating — and terrifying! I’ve been reading tons of memoirs lately — think I need to add that one to my stack, too. Will look forward to your reviews!
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick. It definitely seems to be going around.
Brain on Fire does look intriguing- I may have to pick up the audio.
I have just a few chapters left in Sever and I’m scared to see how it ends- I’ve been reading it very slowly.
The Painted Girls just looks gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing what you think of all your new reads. Hope you feel better soon 🙂
I’ve heard good things about The Painted Girls and it sounds very good. Enjoy all your books!
Ugh, the flu is getting everyone. Glad you are feeling better. Enjoy your new books!
